    Why cant priests marry?

    Man convicted of murdering unborn child.

    Saboteur states: Even the typical moral relativist would have problems with that position! And Star2589: I think you know what I mean. If a child in the second term of pregnancy were delivered prematurely, and the doctor slammed its head against the wall, he would face murder charges. If...
